video premiere: ‘rise up’ and fight back with roots artist paul beaubrun’s inspiring new visual

“There are times in history that mandate for change, and we are currently living in one,” Paul Beaubrun tells AFROPUNK. “It’s clear that we must ‘Rise Up’ in every way, shape and form. We are far past the time where we needed to convince anyone of injustice, its plain to see. If you stay silent, then you are part of the problem.”

In the face of insurmountable oppression and violence, it’s hard to stay encouraged to do what needs to be done and fight the good fight. Paul Beaubrun’s latest music video ‘Rise Up’ is like food for the activist’s soul. A warm embrace and an encouraging voice that amplifies the messages of the unheard while helping others find their own. Written and performed by the Haitian-American artist, the hair-raising track reverberates with kindness and love, but also the urgency for change for so many black and brown people in this world.
